POSTAL Publisher Honors Tommy Tallarico

As a climax to its year-long
celebration of the company’s 10th Anniversary, POSTAL creators Running With
Scissors (RWS) announced that celebrated video game music composer Tommy
Tallarico would be the first recipient of its Person of the Year Award.

“This is an acknowledgment on our
part,” explained RWS CEO Vince Desi, “of someone who has been both a dynamic
force within the video game industry and a good friend to Running With Scissors.
Tommy Tallarico has achieved what so few artists have in any field by
successfully crossing over two giant industries, blending games and music; truly
an amazing
feat. He has brought a unique recognition to our industry and his musical
talent and relentless effort have made a difference for all of us."

"It's an honor to be recognized for
bringing recognition to the industry that I love so much,” Tommy responded. “As
the industry starts to take itself more seriously I hope it never loses sight of
what we're all about.... fun. I've seen a lot of industry progress over my
career and still think there is a lot more to go. I'm looking forward to what
the future holds and I'm humbled and grateful to receive this acknowledgment."

The award was announced at this
year’s POSTAL X-Mas Party, an event staged every year in RWS’ hometown of
Tucson, Arizona that brings RWS together with its fans, MOD masters and
long-time members of the POSTAL family."
